A SciFi JAPAN EXCLUSIVE

Another Christmas may have passed, but the gift giving isn`t over yet! SciFi Japan is pleased to present out first contest with FUNimation Entertainment, who have offered our readers a chance to win the new Region 1 DVD of KAMUI GAIDEN, starring Kenichi Matsuyama (DETROIT METAL CITY, DEATH NOTE) and directed by Japanese Academy Award winner Yoichi Sai (BLOOD AND BONES). Based on the 1964 manga series by Sanpei Shirato, KAMUI GAIDEN is the 17th Century story of the young ninja Kamui. Disillusioned with the laws and principles of his ninja clan, which dictate that he must use his skills to kill others, Kamui chooses to leave his past behind him and go in search of true freedom. But, for a ninja, liberation comes at a price and the only way to escape the bonds of the ninja brotherhood is to die. Now a fugitive on the run from his clan, who are determined to hunt him down and eliminate him for his betrayal, Kamui finds himself constantly fighting for his life and unable to trust anyone. He eventually finds some solace when he meets an indomitable fisherman who saves his life and invites him to settle with his family. Unexpectedly, the arrangement brings Kamui face to face with a long-forgotten nemesis of his, another renegade ninja with a deadly score to settle. Meanwhile, the ninja army hunting Kamui is setting a trap from which there can be no escape… KAMUI GAIDEN will be released on Region 1 DVD ($24.98) and Blu-ray ($29.98) by FUNimation Entertainment on December 28, 2010.
